    Pan-American cruisers, what is the point?

    Maybe they're just taking the drag away? But that doesn't fit the "close to medium range" statement. Let's see...

    Pan-American cruisers, what is the point?

    That is the single thing light cruisers really don't have an issue with in my opinion. Malta, Supercruisers, Supershit FFFFUUUUnbutton, lack of functionalAA, tons of sniping BBabies are much worse.

    Why play Ohio over Thunderer?

    I once tanked 4.x M damage with Colbert, solo entertainer for the whole flank. Also keeping them spotted and murdering a sub in between, while pissing on everything in range. Don't get me wrong, I like(d) smolensk very much but I haven't much played it in years now, but honestly, the skill floor is so low, it's basically a point and click adventure.

    Which forum members have you seen in random battles?

    Whenever I accumulate a few karma, I feel the urge to purge them quickly by playing the submersible scum. If it needs to go extra fast, I write stuff in chat like: "I just love the ping sound"

    Long range plunging AP spam is my gues - Mino can do the same with range mod, penetrating the deck. If you hit. Also we will see more dead light cruisers early in the game. So... basically food for the BBabies?

    GK legendary upgrade worth 19200 RP?

    Well. Not entirely true. GK can snipe at someone - just actually hitting something is entirely optional! And the amount of people trying is staggering. On the other hand, GK is hard, because simply pushing in and getting focussed right from the start is also less than ideal because they haven't yet managed the art of positioning. It's either pushing in, open water everyone shooting him or completely ineffectual behind an island or entirely out of range. The woes of the brawler BB. Luckily now there are BBs for the truly dented, where you really just have to fall face first on the keyboard and the secondaries do what the player can't. For a while at least. But basically, losing the 4km is a non issue. Also, in an emergency, the lack of range can be bridged by the spotter plane consumable - say, if you really want to stay spotted when relocating or are so bored you'd rather dump a salvo into the sea than not shooting at all

    Resources for ships, lists or armoury filters

    I've also noticed that some ships for dubs are in the tree, but not in the armory, making the coupon not applicable.

    Resources for ships, lists or armoury filters

    TBH, free exp ships are the cheap RB ships. Or maybe the other way around, RB ships are basically more expensive free exp ships.

    @Juuzaam Thought I recognized the name.... CVs. You need to wait a second when you type the @ and the name until he makes a suggestion and then select the correct one, or the notification doesn't work.

    I just found out the darndest thing...

    Yeah, light cruisers are the scourge of WoWs. Maybe they should give CVs automatically launched guided missiles to deal with these when they come too close for comfort....

    I just found out the darndest thing...

    I've lost count of the games with only one or entirely without a DD recently. I can understand anyone who doesn't, who want's to be on the receiving end of a supershit fffffun button? To play a DD that farms from smoke and can't contest a cap like Elbing in this meta? Never mind gunboating, there at least you usually spot something...
  15. Karkong_the_Impaler

    I just found out the darndest thing...

    Nope. To do this, they have smoke, why stay in the back row when you can blind everyone?

    More like not getting enough spotting done.

    Port slots currently at 50% :)

    I always sold the trash tier ships. They're not worth keeping.

    I reskilled him as of earlier today, but haven't yet managed to trigger it.

    silver ranked easy..take this! :

    I've already written why I don't think it is helpful, but I gladly agree to disagree here. This sounds a lot different compared to your complaining about your team and your lame excuses concerning "cheaters". I certainly didn't start out the game with a high win rate. If you can't follow the amount of information I've thrown in your general direction, then you're beyond me to help you - a modicum of self enablement is a basic requirement to exist in the world we're living in. No one is going to spoon feed you for the rest of your life. Just learn and git gud.

    Why play Ohio over Thunderer?

    It's a discussion. It's not like it belongs to anyone and everyone else can also find some information pertinent to him. I really can't see the issue, especially as the OP is still with us.

    [Question] Carol Clash which team leads to Dido?

    I'm certainly not new and I don't do things that bore me to death. I'm neither a completionist and if a ship line is obviously not for me, I certainly don't finish it. And even when I do, I'm just racing through the tiers with all possible flags economic bonuses mounted, so it's not worth putting the permanent camo on top of that. But I could at least get some value out of that, so.... probably going to do that next time, now that I write it. But whatever floats your boat, man... I know players with 500+ ships who can't play a single one of those half decently. I rather git gud in one that is really fun.

    Ragnar literally unplayable

    Now that's a real difference... On a more serious side note, I'm guessing someone noticed an error when calculating AA and for reasons of consistency they changed it. It just rising bile here because of the general state of AA. Because it fits so well, I'm not beneath posting this animated explanation on how CVs and AA interact again:

    Just imagining the CV complaining about AA...

    Third tech tree of UK battleship

    This one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk That was a carrier and not anchored. Other concrete ships existed, but the hulls were quite thin, for example 8cm were sufficient for rivergoing barges if properly shaped - nothing that gives immunity to torps or anything.
